AI Technical Summary
Existing genome-editing technologies, such as designer zinc finger nucleases and TALENs, are costly and time-consuming due to low specificity and the need for redesigning nucleases for each target site, limiting their scalability and applicability to multiple genomic positions.
A method for rapid characterization of Protospacer-Adjacent-Motif (PAM) sequences using a library of circular double-stranded DNA plasmids, guide RNA, and Cas endonuclease, followed by amplification and sequencing to identify optimal PAM sequences, enabling precise genome editing.
Enables efficient, scalable, and cost-effective genome editing by accurately determining PAM sequences, facilitating targeted genome modifications and gene insertions.
